## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|Just Row Gloucestershire has been<br>setup to promote and encourage<br>rowing for those in the community<br>who might be described as<br>disadvantaged in some way. Our aim is<br>to enable anyone who wishes to<br>enhance their lives by sport and<br>thereby improve their health, do so via<br>recreational rowing in a happy, safe,<br>supportive, and enjoyable<br>environment, improving social<br>engagement, health, fitness,<br>confidence, team ethos and<br>encouraging lifelong friendships. This<br>includes those who have an<br>impairment or disability, suffering or<br>recovering from illness including for<br>example cancer, heart problems,<br>depression, social and financial<br>deprivation, ethnic minority<br>disadvantages, young adults, and<br>physical rehabilitation.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|Our focus and our activities are around<br>rowing and helping the community<br>access the sport and learn to row.<br>We have maintained a steady flow of<br>participants ranging from those with<br>physical disabilities to those with<br>mental disabilities; those with financial<br>and/or social restrictions. We have<br>been offering rowing as a once-a-week<br>session. Most of the sessions are run<br>by a volunteer except for the junior<br>tasters/learn to row/summer camps<br>where the ratio is much higher. Most<br>of our rowers have been able to row<br>due to the financial support we have<br>received via grants and funding (see<br>‘Funding & Grants’).|

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|JRG offers learn to Row; tasters;<br>regular membership sessions; summer<br>camps and indoor rowing.<br>Rowing sessions are run by one<br>volunteer who takes individuals from<br>beginners. They operate all year, one<br>to two days a week depending on<br>numbers. When schools have taken up<br>the opportunity, more coaches are<br>required, and the sessions take place<br>after school or during the holidays.<br>We have been working with several<br>different areas of the community as<br>described above and are helping them<br>access the sport. The numbers are<br>slowly climbing and the sectors that we<br>are targeting are becoming more<br>diverse. We currently work with the<br>mentally and physically disabled which<br>include wheelchair users, those with<br>Cerebral Palsy, Ataxia, Deafness,<br>Autism, Asperger’s, Brain damage,<br>Depression, Anxiety, PTSD. These<br>participants have become regular<br>rowers and enjoy the sport as well as<br>the environment. We offer all-inclusive<br>rowing. Our aim is to get anyone who<br>wishes to row, on the water. We often<br>need to adapt our equipment for<br>individuals to accommodate their<br>disability. We are aware that we are<br>the only club within the<br>Gloucester/Cheltenham area that<br>offers this type of facility.|

|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|We continue to experience finding<br>suitably qualified volunteers or paid<br>coaches difficult, which has a negative<br>impact on progression. We would like<br>to offer activities that include several<br>athletes at a session to create a more<br>social ”club” type atmosphere.
